![]() The fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, screen/sock, and fuel level sensor are all in one assembly. If swapping the relay with another of the same or replacing with new does not fix the issue and the pump still does not turn on, then you most likely have a bad fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. Most times, this relay will be the same as others and can be swapped which will give a clear indication as to whether or not the relay has failed. If you do not hear the pump turning on, then you would first look at the fuel pump relay which should be located in the fuse box under the hood. You should be able to hear it for the first 10-12 seconds of the key in the On position. Next, you should be able to hear the fuel pump priming/pumping by having your ear next to the filler with the gas cap removed, and a friend turning the key to the On position. This could be extremely dangerous or deadly if you do not address the leak FIRST. First, examine all around the vehicle and under the hood for fuel leaks. I would start troubleshooting this by focusing on the fuel delivery system. Keep a fire extinguisher handy when doing anything with fuel. In this answer, I am providing suggestions for troubleshooting and tracking down the issue at hand. Warning: Doing any kind of maintenance or work on a fuel system is extremely dangerous and best handled by a professional. This typically causes a check engine light and wont keep it from running but it is a possibility that could be a quick and easy fix. Before we get started, make sure the fuel cap is on and tight. ![]() Spraying starter fluid and getting it to fire for a few seconds is usually an indication that your vehicle is able to get air and spark but is lacking fuel or the correct fuel pressure.
